[QUOTE="looking4hope, post: 149642, member: 4362"] Check the federal IDEA law. If the SD has counsel present, then my interpretation is that you are also allowed to have counsel. Your SE lawyer from prior litigation may also be able to answer this question. I agree that having the SD have so many people there is intimidating. There are some agencies, such as your local NAMI chapter, may have Special Education advocates that can attend a meeting with you. Even though our difficult child's aren't qualified for their services, your local agency that deals with autistic and developmentally disabled children may also point you in the direction of an advocate that can help. There are some agencies that provide the service for free or for a low fee. Good luck, and let us know how it turns out. [/QUOTE]
